The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) invites you to join our panel of experts to discuss federally supported programs that offer cutting edge judicial education and work to improve practices in the juvenile and family court systems.
Framing our discussion around the role of the juvenile and family court judge and the importance of a well-educated judiciary, we will discuss effective programs and needed resources for juvenile and family courts. Without practices informed by science, systems appropriately resourced, and a federal partner to assist juvenile and family courts our children will not succeed and costs to state and federal governments will continue to rise.
Panelists:
Former Superior Court Judge, Pima County
Tucson, Arizona
Chief Judge, Hoopa Valley Tribal Court
Hoopa, California
Presiding Judge, 126th Judicial District Court, Travis County
Austin, Texas
Senior Judge, Specialty Court, Second Judicial District Court
Reno, Nevada
Moderated by: Dr. Shawn Marsh, Chief Program Officer of Juvenile Law, NCJFCJ
The panel will offer real stories from the bench and discuss the resources necessary to ensure courts and other stakeholders are keeping children, families, and communities safe. The panel will connect how current and pending legislation impacts the work of juvenile and family courts and the lives of children, families, and victims of domestic violence. The following topics will be presented by the panel:
- Trauma-informed responses to youth who come before the court
- Girls and tribal youth in the system, and dual status youth
- Mental health and juvenile drug courts
- Racial and ethnic fairness and reducing disparate treatment of youth in the system
- Keeping kids in school and out of court and protecting victims of domestic child sex trafficking
